[ALAC] Proposed Amendments to Base New gTLD Registry Agreement Workspace

[Alan Greenberg]

For those of you who do not "follow" all of our Wiki pages, please 
note the comment I made today on the Proposed Amendments to Base New 
gTLD Registry Agreement.

When I and others first reviewed the amendments, we did not find much 
to comment on. In conversations during and after Helsinki (with both 
At-Large people and those from other parts of ICANN), it became more 
obvious (to me) that there are several issues that need to be raised 
- forcefully.

The comment period officially ends this coming Wednesday, but I have 
asked for a week's extension. We should hear tomorrow whether this is granted.

The registry agreement governs the core of one of ICANN's main areas 
of responsibility. Please look at the comments at 
https://community.icann.org/x/uBiOAw and circulate as appropriate.

If there is no extension granted, we will have to act very quickly, 
so please let us know if you, in general or in detail, support the 
ALAC making such a comment.

so you have some idea of the importance I put on this)
